We can give your factory the look you never imagine and making it safer and eliminate or reduce the risks of pedestrians and vehicles collision.

Our floor markings are done to OSHA standard 1910.22 (Walking-Working Surfaces). Our aim is to keep your factory area safe and provide you with the right advice to enable you meet your health and safety obligations. Those in control of factory premises must ensure:

Where Should Floor Marking Be Used

Permanent aisles and passageways must be marked.

Floor marking should be used anywhere there are two or more types of traffic, or in any location in which there are safety hazards. The purpose of floor marking is to identify safe areas and to separate people from hazards. This means that floor marking should not only be used to mark existing aisles and passageways, it should be used to establish safe aisles and passageways that do not exist without the floor marking.

Floor Marking Separates Workers from Hazards

Use floor marking to establish safe pathways for workers to use as they walk through your facility. These aisles should be located so as to keep dangerous equipment out of reach, and to avoid, when possible, hazards such as high noise areas, as well as areas where other types of hazards exist.

Floor marking can also be used to mark off hazardous areas, leaving all other areas open to foot traffic. The areas marked off by floor marking tape are identified as being "off limits." Also, employees should be trained to recognize and understand the meaning of the floor marking scheme being used.

Floor Marking Separates Pedestrians from Motorized Traffic

Whenever there is a mix of pedestrian and motorized traffic, such as fork lifts, floor marking tape should be used to identify aisles set aside for a specific type of traffic. In a warehouse in which powered industrial trucks (fork lifts) are moving around, and going in and out of rows of storage racks, pedestrian lanes should be clearly marked. All foot traffic must remain within the marked aisles, and forklifts may not enter those pathways except at designated crossing locations.

Floor Marking - What Colour Should Be Used

Our Consultants would sit with your team to establish a floor marking colour coding scheme and follow that standard throughout your facility.

A commonly used colour system for floor marking is:

Floor Marking - More Than Lines on the Floor

Floor marking should provide all of the information needed for it to fulfil its intended purpose. For that to be accomplished there may be situations in which information needs to be printed on the floor marking tape. This may be striping to improve the visibility of hazardous areas, words, symbols or SKUs

Floor Marking - Non-Safety Applications

Floor marking also serves to help keep a facility organized and productive. Where it is used for such purpose, we always ensure it does not cause confusion and degrade safety. Floor marking may be used to designate storage areas for specific items or types of items. It may identify machine locations, temporary lay-down areas, assembly areas, or the locations of emergency equipment.
